I left it out for 8 hours. Stubbie was at 328 this morning pre-shot and at 5.5 hours, he is at 325. He should be down at low 200s.

I think it's a goner, yes?

Thankfully, it's not a full bottle.
 
Mm i'm from the netherlands and my vet told me that the prozinc bottles are not a problem if you leave it out because you forgot it.
I don't know for sure if the dutch one is different from the US one.....
 
Yep, just check for the floaties. I've left it out all day before....I wouldn't worry about it.
 
It's not working any longer, ladies. So: Is that I can't use it after a certain time? I must throw it away? Yikes! I like this insulin because Lantus is so hard to manage.
I can't control his numbers on Lantus. This is a conundrum at $135 a bottle!
 
Are Stubbie's readings high all of a sudden? Maybe it was too hot in your house :(

I've left mine out accidentally for a full cycle more than once. Went to the refrigerator to grab it and gasped realizing I'd never put it away. My insulin never lost effectiveness. The first time it I happened, I Googled and found this helpful: http://www.justanswer.com/cat-health/8bh1u-left-cat-s-pro-zinc-insulin-counter-day.html

Could he be bouncing and you think it's the insulin not working?
 
Good question, Kristen. Stephanie, Do you have some recent numbers in your spreadsheet? I only see through April 2015. Am I missing the recent one?
 
Left mine out multiple times over the past two years, no change in the numbers because of it. One of my vets is a diabetic and I was told he leaves his out. Something else is changing the numbers
